Bachelor of Tourism Management

727750 056711F 1664 March/July Parramatta 3F/6P 70.75

Key: B = Bachelor of; F = Full-time; P = Part-time.Note: Part-time refers to study load, not to timetabling of evening classes.

The continuing “boom” of the tourism industry globally marks tourism out as one of the most exciting employment prospects for graduating students. As one of the few degrees in Australia that combines a social science and business focus, the Bachelor of Tourism Management is uniquely equipped to provide its graduates with the specialist knowledge and practical experience necessary to pursue pathways to employment in the tourism and cultural industries.

The core of the degree provides an in-depth introduction to the business underpinnings of tourism alongside a consideration of its natural, social and cultural environments. It thereby brings together issues of tourism planning and management with a developed understanding of the needs of local and destination communities.

Academically, the degree is structured around core historical and theoretical developments in tourism studies, which provide a depth of knowledge regarding contemporary sector issues such as the push for responsible and sustainable development. A strong practical orientation also allows students to learn beyond the classroom through fieldtrips, onsite visits and a semester-long placement within the tourism sector.

Students are taught by experienced and knowledgeable staff with international reputations, all of whom bring with them close connections with the Sydney tourism industry, such as Destination NSW, Sydney Olympic Park, the Australian Federation of Travel Agents, local government, and professional bodies.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Tourism Management will be “work-ready” and equipped with both applicable tourism theory and real world experience.

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

In their final year of the Bachelor of Tourism Management, students chose to complete either a semester-long tourism industry professional placement within the Sydney area or an international placement. Both are coordinated by staff within the School of Social Sciences and Psychology and contribute to the units required for graduation. Both placement programs allow students to develop a clear sense of the relationship between theory and practice.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

The Bachelor of Tourism Management was developed in consultation with the tourism industry and is overseen by an External Advisory Committee, which completed a thorough review of the degree in November 2016.

CORE UNITS AND ELECTIVES

To graduate with a Bachelor of Tourism Management, students are required to complete 24 units, including an approved, semester-long work placement. The core units of study for this degree include: Understanding Society; Enterprise Innovation and Markets; Sustainability, Tourism and Place; Tourism and Global Trends, Tourism in Society; Tourism Policy and Planning; Heritage and Tourism; and Indigenous Cultures: A Global Perspective.

There are eight electives within the Bachelor of Tourism Management. Electives may be chosen from other Social Science or Humanities or Business related programs, allowing students flexibility. Students also have the opportunity to undertake majors, sub-majors or elective studies in cognate areas, including: Heritage and Tourism, Anthropology, Geography and Urban Studies, and Peace and Development Studies.

INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN STUDIES

Enrolment in the Indigenous Australian Studies (IAS) major, sub-major or units is available to all Western Sydney University undergraduate students who have open electives. For more information visit westernsydney.edu.au/future or refer to the University Handbook.

Louise Klint GRADUATE BACHELOR OF TOURISM MANAGEMENTTOURISM DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

“I am passionate about tourism. Tourism touches most people and by completing a Bachelor of Tourism Management all future students will gain a comprehensive knowledge about the tourism system, how to ensure it remains sustainable into the future and how to develop extraordinary tourism experiences for people to enjoy. During my studies at WSU, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the tourism system. I also learnt to research and use this research for strategic planning. I undertook work experience projects that helped me complete similar projects in my working life. Finally, my passion for tourism was sparked through the excellent staff and subjects available at the University.”

Danielle HazellBACHELOR OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

“I am impressed with the amazing facilities and course options at Western Sydney University, particularly for tourism students, such as overseas studying options, a comprehensive library of resources and the great selection of facilities, such as the bookshop and gym.”

In an ever-changing world, protection of our cultural, historical and natural environments is one of the most pressing challenges facing contemporary society. In the context of conflict and war, natural and human-made disasters, rapid development and climate change, heritage has become a touchstone for social and cultural identity, a reminder of the importance of peace and development, and integral to our senses of citizenship, custodianship and community. At the same time heritage sites have become significant tourist destinations, accounting for over one-third of the international tourism market.

This major in the Bachelor of Social Science is designed to introduce students to core historical and theoretical developments, as well as the full range of contemporary issues faced by the heritage sector. In addition to enabling a critical examination of the relationship between heritage and tourism in a number of settings within Australia and internationally, the major also delivers a strong practical orientation. This allows students to learn beyond the classroom through digitally-enhanced fieldtrips and onsite visits, as well as an opportunity to opt into a semester-long placement within the heritage tourism sector.

Graduates will be equipped to seek careers within a diverse range of government and non-government organisations, as well as businesses that require understanding, insight and skills related to heritage, culture and tourism planning.


To graduate with a Bachelor of Social Science (Heritage and Tourism), students are required to complete 24 units. The core social science units for this degree include: Working with Communities; Understanding Society; People, Place and Social Difference; and Contemporary Social Issues and Professional Practice.

In addition to those eight core social science units, students must also satisfactorily complete eight units from the Heritage and Tourism major, which may include: Tourism in Society; Issues in Contemporary Heritage; Heritage and Tourism; Tourism Policy and Planning; Heritage Interpretation; Indigenous Cultures: A Global Perspective.

Students have very wide choices for an additional eight electives, which may be selected from other Western Sydney University programs or from within the School of Social Sciences and Psychology.


Enrolment in the Indigenous Australian Studies (IAS) major, sub-major or units is available to all UWS undergraduate students who have open electives. For more information visit westernsydney.edu.au/future or refer to the University Handbook.

““I thoroughly enjoy being able to research historic sites and buildings in Sydney and NSW as a whole. I also like being able to apply critical thought to the heritage significance of sites to assist my seniors in making informed decisions. The Bachelor of Tourism Management is an excellent degree that prepares students for a variety of roles based in the tourism and heritage sectors.”
